I think you're looking for <command>. Since there's nothing more appropriate, that's currently used not just for non-GUI apps, but also configuration file options and daemons like services. I would expect for now that you should use it for syslog facilities as well. If anyone wants to differ, please feel free. I do notice that a DocBook RFE at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=564776&group_id=21935&atid=384107 suggests that the more proper way to do this is <application class="daemon">syslogd</application> <application class="service">syslog</application> <application class="service">kern.*</application> That was the end of 2002, but a *really* quick check of the DocBook book doesn't reveal anything more appropriate. -- Paul W.
